Fela Kuti
His genius cannot be simply stated in a few paragraphs, if you've never heard of him check these links out. For those of you who do name your favorite album, song, whatever.
Fela Kuti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://worldmusiccentral.org/artists...ge.php?id=1067 and some of his stuff. :pimp: YouTube - FELA KUTI - LIVE- WITH JETHRO TULL YouTube - Fela Kuti - Teacher Don't teach Me No Nonsense YouTube - George Carlin - Anal Sex enjoy! |
Search :yeah:
http://www.musicbanter.com/country-f...fela-kuti.html The only album I have is Zombie which is damn funky afro-beat stuff. His discog seems dauntingly huge. I wouldn't mind if you could recommend me an album or two or even make a compilation. |

Shakara and Open And close are excellent albums. PM me if you have any trouble ;) |
The guy's music is just, y'know, brilliant. I've only got 'He Miss Road/Water No Get Enemy' on CD myself - 'It's No Possible' is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard
|
His son has made some pretty good music too.
|
Yeah, Femi Kuti isn't it? Pretty sure I've got a CD of his lying around somewhere
|
Yeah it's Femi Kuti. I have both 'Fight To Win' and 'The Definitive Collection' on CD and although there are some great tunes, his father's work is far superior.

There's a whole revival of Fela-esque afrobeat going on right now. There's Antibalas, of course, but also the Chicago Afrobeat Project, Nomo, the Budos Band, and they're all great.
You should also check out other stuff contemporaneous to Fela. Check the Nigeria Special compilations. They're brilliant. |
